Another Bb. Pilipinas 2016 candidate disqualified over racy photos

MANILA, Philippines — Another candidate of this year's Binibining Pilipinas has been booted out of the competition.

Janelle Olafson was disqualified from the 2016 Bb. Pilipinas pageant, allegedly over racy photos she has done in the past, according to a report in ABS-CBN's news program "Bandila" on Monday.

This comes after Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Incorporated also booted out Kim Ross delos Santos from the competition, reportedly for the same reason.

Delos Santos has been replaced by Geisha Naganuma.

According to Olafson, the "racy photo" she took was for a breast cancer awareness campaign.

"That photo is for a breast cancer awareness ad because my family in the States, my aunt, my cousin, and this year alone my tito is a survivor of breast cancer" she told "Bandila. "That is an advocacy and I don't regret posing for that photo... and I'm not gonna change for anybody."

Olafson added: "I just feel like God's path is here... Okay naman. Feeling ko kaya ko ito."

The BPCI has yet to issue a statement on the issue. — Chuck Smith
